Research Project Manager Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

About Us

Senseye is a NeuroTechnology Company in Austin, TX, on the cusp of revolutionizing Mental Health. Over the past six years, we have invested millions of dollars in R&D to build our platform, allowing us to measure cognitive activity via the eye through mobile phones. Through multiple iterations and use cases, we are now focused on building the world's first Objective Mental Health Diagnostics on top of our core technology. Our first diagnostic is for PTSD and is entering clinical trials now, followed soon by additional indications for Anxiety and Depression. As the world struggles with a mental health crisis, it is not hyperbolic to suggest that an objective diagnostic platform that gives clinicians a safe and objective, accurate approach to identifying and monitoring mental health disease, will redefine how mental health services are provided and will enable access to treatment for millions of sufferers. The Senseye platform could be the technology that drives this change. This is an excellent opportunity to shape the future of digital medicine and address unmet medical needs that affect billions of people worldwide.
